What is the name of your state? MI
long story that happened close to two years ago. i have always been upset over this but did not think i had a chance.
I have collected and played a card game called Magic: The Gathering. A few of my friends play as well. one of my friends wanted to get back into the game and i had not played as much as i used to so i took my cards over to his house. he was still living with his parents. it was getting late so i left my large box of cards and binder of rare cards for him to look through and pick out what he wanted. i was going to either give or sell for little whatever he wanted.
the next day i got a call from my friend that his father had taken all my cards and burned them. what had happened after i had left was his brother had gotten caught stealing magic cards and his dad found out and took the cards that were out in the open (meaning all of mine) and took them outside and set fire to all of them. from what i remember from my friend, his father started the fire and let his wife watch the rest. both him and his brother and i would assume his sister witnessed it. they were trying to explain that the cards belonged to me and his dad did not care. my friend said to his father he was going to call me and the father responded with something along the lines of not lettting me on the property and i think some threat with a gun.
so, much later on (6 months or so) i had called the family back and asked about re-embursment and was shot down right away. the father refused to talk to me and the wife said, "there were a lot of things going on. you wouldn't understand." so in short, said no.
i had well over 1,000 cards and if i had to take a wild guess around $500-600 worth. i had a lot of money and memories wrapped up in those cards.
I had talked about it with my dad and he said because i had no proof the cards were mine or that i even had those cards i couldnt go anywhere with it. so i didnt.
is there anything i can do? please help me!What is the name of your state?
